Empatience in Recitation.

Let us step into your school-room.
A class in Arithmetic is reciting. You
suddenly turn upon one OF the members
OF the class; and, with quickness pc
culiar to yourself, abruptly ask 4 ques-
ton. You wait Just long enough for
the pupil to discover to whom the ques-
ton is directed; and, before he has time
to arrange his answer in his mind, with
a startling suddenness, Next" rings
out from your lips, and the answer is
hastily seized from another, and in the
same confused haste, the recitation is
conducted. Those who lag behind in
road where others are travelling are al
wavs in a cloud OF dust. How dusty,
then. must be the brain of those who are
less quick, and hesitate from timldity?
How can this cloud of dust become set
tied? Perhaps their dullness is made
more prominent by such words as:
ssThink quick, John.'' Haven't you
mastered this lesson, Jane:" II can't
have any hesitation, now Think" If the
answer was half formed, such words
would drive it into infnitesimal particles
of dust, and nothing is manifested ex-
cept that clouded, dusty mind. They
are human, and cannot be driven like
s'dumb beasts Give them room, light,
freedom OF thought and soul.-Euo IL.
Pouers, IN Teachers Institute and Practi-
cal Teacher.
There is no doubt that we often pass
unanswered questions down the class
too rapidly. Sometimes we find that a
child cannot answer very quickly, al
though he may know the answer very
we'll. Haste with such pupil is often
injurious as it makes him have little con-
fidence in himself, and soon causes him
to underrate his own mental capacity.
This is true in some instances, but
generally slowness on the part OF the
teacher to pass questions is injurious.
Why? Because it does not stimulate or
oncourape ranid thought. It is one OF

A Bad Nasal Organ.

Eor over four years have been great
sufferer from terrible form Of Nasal
Catarrh. was greatly annoyed with 4
constant roaring in my head and my
hearing became very much impaired.
The discharge from my nose was pro-
fuse and very offensive, and my general
health impaired. tried most all promi-
nent physicians, but they did not cure
me, and used various advertised prep
arations without benefit.
One day CHANGED to read 4 remark
able article written by prominent citl-
zen of Athens, Ca, stating that he had
been permanently cured by the use OF
eight bottles of B. B. B.-Botanic Blood
Balm. Being skeptical on the subject,
I wrote to him on the subject and re-
ceived most encouraging answer to the
effect that he had been cured long
enough to be thoroughly satisfied that
no return of the disease would en~ue.
then sent to the drug store OF I. E.
Smith & Bro, and purchased 3. B. B.,
and to my utter astouishment and salts
faction, the use of ten bottles has re-
stored my general health, stopped the
roaring sensation, entirely healed and
cured the nasal catarrh and am proud
to recommend a blood remedy with such
powerful curative properties.
I shall continue its use little
longer and feel confident that will be
entirely cured of one OF the most obstl-
nate cases OF nasal catarrh in the coun-
try.

of my case. n. G. EDWARDS.

TEACHERS DEPARTMENT.
ARTHUR KIBLER, EDITOR.
Meeting Of the Teachers Associati0,

The association met in the Prosperity
High School building, Saturday last at
eleven o'clock. About twenty five
teachers and friends of education were
present. In the absence of the presi-
dent, and at the request of the vice
president, Miss Alice Crosson, Prof. E.
O. Counts took the chair.
All the lecturers were present and
prepared to discharge the duties assigned
them. This is something that does not
happen often, and certainly indicates
that the association is finding favor
among the teachers. 1t is source of
regret, however, that many of the teach
ers, especially those OF the upper part OF
the county cannot attend, or do not feel
enough interested to attend. The pro-
gram, as will be seen, was good one,
and every teacher in the county would
nave gained something ii present.
Mrs. Long read a very interesting
paper on Penmanship.
Miss Monts read an excellent paper
on Primary Reading. She laid stress OIL
Moroughness in the work: to which we
agree. II there is am thing in primary
department which del ands special at
tention, it is reading.
Mr.. Geo. Mills gave us Tie Teacher
at Playtime. Mr.. N. thought it best to
play with the children and umpire their
games. 1t is difficult to say just how the
teacher should act, it is not always best |
to s'become one of the children" at play
time.''
Prof. Drehcr lectured on Proportion
and Percentage. He gave several eS-
amples on the board which made the
subject very plain. The plan OF work
ing percentage by cancellation involves
no new principles and is by far the short
est. However, it is not always Lest for
beginners.
The last lecturer was Maj. G. G. De-
Walt, who spoke of ''The Schools of the !

Ancients as compared with those OF the
Moderns." This address was very inter-
esting, as he drew out some of the dis
tinguished features Of each period.
Each Of the above subjects was dis
cllssed with much interest, each speaker
giving his views as experience had
taught him.
We are fully persuaded that this was
one of our best meetings. J. NJ. e.

scribing the small amount asked in
order to secure the road and they
should take the trouble to 60 to the
polls and vote for subscription. The
amount asked Of this township is very
small compound with the benefits to
be derived from the road coming to
Newberry. We have now the pros
pect of becoming railroad centre,
and nothing should be left undone
IN order to secure this for our town.
Because the charter provides that
this road shall be built by way of
Newberry, does not mean that the
road is obliged to come, whether
the people OF this township give
anything towards bringing it here or
not. It is very easy matter to
amend the charter. We would be
acting very much in our own light to
sit idly by and let this road flank our
town by a few miles because per-
chance we refused to vote subscrip-
ton Of $4,000 in order to secure it.
Our taxes VIII not be increased more
than one-half of one mill in order to
give the $4,000 and when the road
is built the increased valuation of
property arising from the road and
the property Of the road itself in this
township will help very materially to
pay this back.
We are induced to say this much,
not because we think there is any
very pronounced opposition, but only
to call the attention of those who are
IN favor of the road to the irapor-
tance Of going out and voting in
order to have majority Of the quail
fed voters so that no question should |
be raised asto the validity of the sub
scription. Go to the polls and vote
for Subscription" The more rail
roads we can have coming in here the |
better it will be for our town. It !
Will increase our property, give EN-
ployment to more of our people,
bring population to our town, and
help build up manufactures here in
our midst, and be of advantage to
US in thousand ways.
It is the opinion of the attorney
Of the road, and he is supported in
this view by eminent counsel in
different portions of the State, that
the section referred to would not in
validate the election even if there
should not be a majority of all the
qualified voters Of the townships.
The words "majority OF the qualified
voters" means the majority of the
voters who cast ballot at the cleo
ton as distinguished from "qualifed
who are entitled to vote.
In other words voter IS one who
Totes. But let US have full vote. ,

night authorized the President to re-

New YORK, June Tive boys,
John Aleehan, aged Q, and VIM.
Klotzberger, aged II, were arraigned
in the Tombs Police Court to-day
charged with murder. They were SO
small that the magistrate was obliged
to rise and look over his desk to see
them. While on their way home
from school they pelted with stones
and kicked and jostled an old and
feeble Italian until he fell, fracturing
his skull. He died in the hospital.
The boys must stand their trial.
The coroner refused to hold the
boys on the charge of causing the old
Italians death and they were dis
charged by Justice Smith.

of locomotive attached to a south

8 o'clock this morning. The air was
filed with flying pieces of iron and
timber and scalding water. A num-
Der of persons standing on the station
platform were badly scalded or cut
with flying missiles. One man, a
carpenter employed on the road, re-
siding in Baltimore, whose name no
one knew, was instantly killed. John
Murphy, aged 2l years, telegraph
operator of this city, was so badly
scalded and injured that his death is
momentarily expected. The fireman
was standing on the sand-box of the
engine and was blown many feet in
the air. He was more hurt by the
fall than by the explosion The rail

of buildings on the opposite side of

of the engine were found three
